Special Event: Preparing Children for Successful Executive Functioning with Laurie Clark

Special Event!

The ability to self-regulate, have flexibility, and focus are crucial abilities for academic achievement. Join us at the Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork for a presentation on executive functioning led by long-time Waldorf educator and ECE expert Laurie Clark. This presentation will focus on how Waldorf Early Education prepares the child for successful executive functioning.

During the presentation, you’ll learn:

  • How Waldorf teachers meet the young child developmentally and help to strengthen these emerging skills
